Romo says he has a back injury

Via Ed Werder of ESPN, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo emerged from Sunday’s win over the Redskins with a back injury. Coach Jason Garrett said it’s a foot injury.

So what do you have to say about it, Tony?

“It was my back,” Romo told reporters after the game regarding an injury that caused him to not miss any time. “I tweaked it in the game and then for whatever reason then, the twist or whatever it was, definitely just made it not feel comfortable.”

The team also has advised PFT that Romo’s back tightened up during the game. Romo also was asked whether the back was bothering him coming in to the game, given that Jones suggested Romo had a pre-existing back problem.

“A little bit but nothing where I thought it was gonna be a major thing,” Romo said. “[I] think I took a hit which kind of triggered it. And then one time whatever the kid did on that one play, really sent a . . . just didn’t make it feel very comfortable. But it’s a completely in a different spot than the back stuff I had last year so that’s a good thing.”

Curiously, Romo wasn’t listed on the injury report as having a back injury. Next week, he likely will be.

His back is hurt from Jerry Jones not giving him the ole weekly back massage in the hot tub. You see they were quarreling over the collapse to the Packers, so no hut tub time. His back will be better next week. Mark my words. Coincidence? Me thinks not, they won this week, so hot tub time is back on.

His back hurting is a back up plan just in case the Cowboys lose next week. It won’t be because he choked again, it will be because his back hurt.

Just working up his excuse for next weeks loss to the Eagles after giving up a lead again.

One play away from a house clean sounds stable.

Anyone who has had back pain or injuries knows how painful this is and how hard it is to perform basic tasks, let alone run around and throw.

Everyone should lay money on Dallas. The nfl wants them in the playoffs so badly they will fix the outcome. We will see which crew follows orders well. They will be the care working in Dallas next week.

Romo’s gonna need a body cast after the Eagles finish them of next week.

yeahhhh right….long history of romo “injuries” . If he was really injured he wouldn’t be able to run or throw with a bad back. (remember when he had “broken ribs and a punctured lung”…he wouldn’t even be able to walk on the field , let alone play QB) He learned that from E Smith who used to limp off the field in “pain” and then be back on the field for the next play.

But wait, wasn’t Kirk Cousins supposed to destroy Romo, and the historically inept Dallas Defense with his super powers and ability that makes RGIII look like a Rasta with bad braids who needs braces???

Or maybe Kirk Cousins is who they thought he was, a noodle armed, 4th round draft choice from the crappy Big10 who could barely pass for 200 yards at home against the worst pass defense to ever step on an NFL field. And RGIII is a former Heisman winner, 2nd overall pick, Offensive Rookie of the year who set a rookie record for passer rating and rushing yards who is coming off catastrophic knee surgery who sucked this year but will bounce back.
